Today in the US 70% of the population is reliant on at least one prescription drug. Among those eligible for Medicare, 90% are on five or more medications! I’m happy to say I’m not taking any prescription medication and don’t intend to be when I’m eligible for Medicare, either. The information in Haylie Pomroy’s new book, Fast Metabolism Food Rx, is my weapon to remain healthy.
In 2013, I was overfed and undernourished. I craved carbs but the more I ate them, the worse I felt. I read Ms. Pomroy’s first book, The Fast Metabolism Diet, and began to follow her style of eating. I have never eaten more food and still lost weight and inches! My cravings disappeared and my energy levels skyrocketed.
With her new book, Ms. Pomroy has given us 7 new eating plans that address many common, and some less common, health issues. But instead of recommending medication, her prescription is food. Much tastier than popping pills, less expensive than trips to the drug store, and no side effects! Your ‘pharmacy’ is now as close as your kitchen.
Haylie Pomroy, celebrated nutritionist, and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fast Metabolism Diet, shares a food prescription for the 7 most common ways your metabolism misfires and leads to exhaustion, excess weight, and illness. With her targeted eating plans you can feed your body back to a vibrant, energetic, and thriving state.
When multiple health challenges threatened the author’s life, it set her on an investigative journey that was life-changing—and lifesaving. In this book, she shares her personal story for the first time, as well as the powerful food programs she created based on the methods and philosophies that saved her life and helped her thrive. For decades now, these same food therapies have provided profound clinical results in her clinics where she’s treated thousands of others.
Our bodies are always talking, communicating their needs. We just need to learn how to listen. Sometimes they whisper to us—our energy is off, we just don't feel right, we have indigestion or IBS, or our body shape is morphing in ways we don’t recognize or like. Sometimes our bodies speak up and change our biochemistry in order to get our attention, by pushing our cholesterol a little higher, making us irritable, reactive, or ‘foggy.’ At other times our bodies are screaming for help, we have become pre- or full-blown diabetic and our immune systems are confused and attacking us. Every one of these health signals hides a specific problem, and for which food, not drugs, is the answer.
So, if you’re suffering from GI issues, fatigue, out of whack hormones, mood and cognition difficulties, elevated cholesterol, blood sugar control problems, or an autoimmune problem, Food Rx has the solution for you.
